[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1115773, member: 30902"] If the availability of factory ammo is consideration you need to drop most of the calibers you have listed. For 6.5 choices there are plenty from the 6.5x55 to Creedmore and .260 Rem. Your standard bolt face will work with all of them. Of those three choices there's a good supply of factory ammo available for all of them as well as brass. For 7mm's you need to go to the 7mm Rem Mag if you want factory ammo and despite what you have probably heard most of your life having the word "magnum" associated with a cartridge neither makes it magical or a heavy recoiling monster. It is simply a term created to go with the belted cartridges over a half century ago. You'd have to open up the bolt face or replace the bolt body to move to the 7mm Rem but that's not a big deal and you already have a full length action so that's no problem. [/QUOTE]
